𓆸 HAVE YOU MET KŌJI YET?
Because once you do, there’s no going back.

You were fine before smartphones… until they took over your life, right?
That’s exactly what happens when you meet KŌJI—Japan’s magical fungus that transforms how you cook, eat, and feel.

KŌJI is the fungus behind Japan’s most iconic foods—like miso, soy sauce, and sake.
But here’s the real secret: you can use it every day in your own kitchen, as what is called “SHIO (salt) KŌJI”, a simple KŌJI seasoning.

In this class, you’ll be introduced to SHIO (salt) KŌJI, a natural fermented seasoning made from rice kōji, salt, and water. It enhances umami, tenderizes meat, supports digestion, and works as a flavorful salt substitute—all too good to be true and perfect for healthy, quickest, and deeply satisfying meals.

And it doesn’t stop there. You’ll also be introduced to a range of custom KŌJI seasonings like garlic KŌJI, onion KŌJI, chicken stock KŌJI, and veggie broth KŌJI, and many other original KŌJI seasonings. These all-purpose flavor boosters are homemade, additive-free, and endlessly versatile. My KŌJI blends are completely original—you won’t find them anywhere else.

<Workshop Highlights>
𓌉◯𓇋 A tasting of 8 to 10 original, one-of-a-kind KŌJI creations with fun, unpredictable variations—only available in my workshop!
𓌉◯𓇋 Creating your own SHIO (salt) KŌJI + 1 more tasty KŌJI seasonings to ferment at home
𓌉◯𓇋 An inspiring lunch featuring multiple KŌJI dishes that will open your mind to what’s possible with fermented flavors.

This workshop is for anyone who wants to cook quicker, smarter, tastier, and more naturally—with the everyday magic of KŌJI.

There’s no way you can leave Japan without learning about this!

❀ A MUST-VISIT TRAVEL STATION IN KAWAGUCHIKO- KA

Realizing how all that precious time spent at NIS

Realizing how all that precious time spent at NIS has shaped me into who I am today…

❀STRAWBERRY SHIO KOJI – A Sweet & Savory Surprise !

Because the strawberries I got weren’t so great, I decided to try making some shio koji with them. I thought I’d seen it all with my koji collection (refer to previous post) —chicken soup koji, dashi UMAMI koji, garlic koji… But this? This is next level.

The sweet-tart brightness of strawberries combined with the umami depth of shio koji creates pure magic. Sweet, salty, rich, and unexpectedly delicious. One taste, and it completely exceeded my expectations!

Perfect for dressings, grilled meats, fried fish, sauces, or even a refreshing seafood carpaccio. The possibilities are endless.
Got any other ideas? Let me know!!

𓆸𓂃How to Make : Strawberry Shio Koji
᛭ Strawberries – 150g (diced or sliced)
᛭ Koji – 75g
᛭ Salt – 25g
᛭ Water – Start with 60ml, then add 15ml if too thick

Mix everything together and let it ferment at room temperature for about 10 days to 2 weeks. (Give or take a few depending on your room temperature) Stir once daily using sanitized utensils.
If you have a yogurt maker like me; 6 hrs at 60 degrees Celsius.

The result? A mind-blowing balance of sweetness, saltiness, and deep umami!!

Definitely is a must-try so save and try, and tag me if you ever do or share with someone who might be interested!

𓆸𓂃作り方：イチゴ塩麹
᛭ イチゴ – 150g（ダイスカット or スライス）
᛭ 麹 – 75g
᛭ 塩 – 25g
᛭ 水 – 60ml（もったりしてたら+15mlで75ml）

全部混ぜて室温で10日から2週間程発酵させるだけ！(室温によって前後します）
消毒したスプーンなどで一日一回かき混ぜる。
ヨーグルトメーカーを使う場合：60℃で6時間前後。

シンプルだけど、味は革命的！なのでセーブして絶対に作ってみて（作ったらタグ付けしてね）！！！

❀ ROLLED HAKUSAI (Chinese Cabbage)– A Twist on

❀ ROLLED HAKUSAI (Chinese Cabbage)– A Twist on Classic Stuffed Cabbage!

Spring cabbage is in season, but HAKUSAI (Chinese cabbage) is still delicious. This time, I used mini HAKUSAI instead of cabbage to make these tender, juicy rolls.

The secret? A light yet flavorful UMAMI broth that brings out the natural sweetness of the ingredients.

They turned out just as yummy as classic stuffed cabbages, and I loved them, but were somewhat too mild for the kids. And so if you want a richer taste, a drizzle of sesame oil or a hint of garlic does the trick! So here’s how to prepare.

𓆸𓂃How to prepare:
- 8 leaves HAKUSAI (Chinese cabbage)
- 200g Ground chicken
- A pinch of salt & pepper
- 1/2 Carrot

<For the Broth>
- 300 ml Dashi broth
- 1 TBSP Mirin
- 1 TBSP Sake
- 1 TBSP Soy sauce
- Salt to taste

1. Separate HAKUSAI leaves and blanch them (or steam) until soft. Let them cool.
2. Mince the carrot.
3. In a bowl, mix ground chicken, carrot, salt, and pepper until sticky. Divide into 8 portions and shape into balls.
4. Wrap each portion with a HAKUSAI leaf, forming a roll.
5. In a pot, combine dashi, mirin, sake, soy sauce, and salt. Arrange the rolls tightly in the pot (to keep it in shape)
6. Cover with parchment paper as a drop lid. Simmer for 20-30 minutes, gently flipping once halfway.
7. Serve with broth and enjoy!

❀ 和風ロール白菜 – 定番ロールキャベツのアレンジ！

春キャベツの季節ですが、小さめの白菜が手に入ったので、今回は白菜でロールキャベツを作ってみました。
だしの旨みが染み込んで、優しい味わいがとても美味しくて、私は好きだったけど子供たちにはさっぱりしすぎた様子。
なので少しコクを足したい時は、ごま油を垂らしたり、ニンニクを加えるのもおすすめ！

𓆸𓂃作り方：
- 白菜：8枚
- 鶏ひき肉：200g
- 塩コショウ：少々
- 人参：1/2本（みじん切り）

＜A＞
- だし：300ml
- みりん：大さじ1
- 酒：大さじ1
- 醤油：大さじ1
- 塩：適量

1. 白菜を剥がし、サッとゆでて冷ます。
2. 人参をみじん切りにする。
3. ボウルに鶏ひき肉、人参、塩コショウを入れて粘りが出るまで混ぜる。8等分に丸める。
4. 白菜で肉だねを包む。
5. 鍋に＜A＞を入れ、ロール白菜を隙間なく並べる。（煮崩れを防ぐ為）
6. 落し蓋（キッチンペーパー可）をして、20～30分煮込む。途中で一度上下を静かに返す。
7. スープごと器に盛り付けて召し上がれ！

❀TERIYAKI TARO POTATOES – crispy, caramelized,

❀TERIYAKI TARO POTATOES – crispy, caramelized, and packed with flavor.

I never thought teriyaki was my thing… until I made it myself. Now I’m hooked. This time, I used steamed taro potatoes I found in my fridge for a veggie twist.

The key? Pan-frying the starch-coated ingredients before adding the sauce. It locks in all the flavor while adding extra texture.

𓆸𓂃How to make:
᛭ 430g taro potatoes (steamed & peeled)
᛭ bit of garlic (I used garlic koji)
᛭ aonori (nori seaweed flakes) for topping
᛭ sesame oil

<Teriyaki sauce>
᛭ 1 TBSP sugar
᛭ 2 TBSP mirin
᛭ 2 TBSP sake
᛭ 2 TBSP soy sauce

1. Mix all teriyaki sauce ingredients.
2. Coat steamed taro potatoes with starch.
3. Heat sesame oil in a frying pan.
4. Cook taro until the surface gets crispy.
5. Add teriyaki sauce (adjust amount to taste) and stir.
6. Top with aonori and serve.

Try it and let me know—what ingredient do you recommend in teriyaki? Curious to know as a TERIYAKI beginner lol!

❀里芋のテリヤキ – おかずにも、つまみにも♬

今までテリヤキって全く好きではなかったけど、自分で作ったら今更ハマった！なので今回は冷蔵庫にあった蒸し里芋でベジバージョン。

ポイントは、何を照り焼きするにしても、タレを入れる前に片栗粉をまぶして焼くこと。タレの味がしっかり絡んで食感もアップ。
みんなのおすすめテリヤキ、何かある？テリヤキ初心者の私に是非教えて♪

𓆸𓂃作り方:
᛭里芋 430g（蒸して皮をむく）
᛭にんにく少々（私はにんにく麹を使用）
᛭青のり（仕上げに）

<テリヤキのタレ＞:
᛭砂糖大さじ1
᛭みりん大さじ2
᛭酒大さじ2
᛭醤油大さじ2

1. 照り焼きソースの材料を混ぜる
2. 蒸した里芋に片栗粉をまぶす
3. フライパンにごま油を熱する
4. 里芋を表面がカリッとするまで焼く
5. 照り焼きソースを加え、絡める（量は調整してね）
6. 青のりをふりかけて完成

是非作ってみてねーー♪

So here’s how to make “Green Onion Sesame Oil”.

1. Chop up green onion into desired size. (I like to cut mine into very small pieces but thin rounds would work just as well)
2. Place half of onion in a sanitized container.
3. Add some salt.
4. Place the rest of onion and add some more salt.
5. Drizzle sesame oil until all is submerged in oil.
6. Store in fridge overnight, add some more salt if desired.
7. Serve over grilled meat and fish, grilled veggies, sashimi, TOFU, UDON noodles, GYOZA, of course MOCHI, or any other dishes!
So yummy and so versatile!!
